54 – Chelsea A – I love French Silk Pie this time of year! It’s an annual treat that I limit myself to making only for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s almost the same recipe as PW! Also, I love all the pictures and stories you share from your signing. I am amazed you remember all the details!

I love to have my boys help me bake sugar cookies and decorate them and hand them out to family. We’ve done this since I was little. But this year I think we’re gonna make cupcakes cause those are my all time favs!

Pick me, please! Pick me! :) I can’t wait to make buckeyes (peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate to look like a buckeye.) I grew up making them every Christmas in Ohio and they are a treat I look forward to every Christmas.

I can not wait to eat my moms pineapple pie. I know it sounds a little odd but it is FABULOUS! I have not been able to eat any since having my son since he had a very bad dairy allergy. I can not wait to finally indulge in a slice!

For the first time ever, I’ll be making shortbread! I normally just eat my Mum’s, but we’re having the pre-Christmas bbq (I’m in Australia) at our house for the first time so I thought I’d go all out. I’m also making actual cake balls for the first time! (Normally I just cheat and make the oreo balls…)

My favorites are mexican wedding cookies. There are so many varieties of this cookie. I’ve tried about three. My favaorite is the Paula Deen recipe. MMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to make this simple cookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m really excited to make red velvet cakepops since it seems it’s the only kind I haven’t made yet! I know, how could I, right!? Other than that I also have a few request for cupcake and since I got new sprinkles from Williams & Sonoma, I am excited to fill that request. If I win I would gladly take a signed copy since the book signing didn’t stop in Miami. :)

First off i really want this book! I asked for it as a christmas present and my mom says it’s not here in Canada yet…at least where we live :( She’s not an online shopper so that is the only way we can get it. Second I just love making cupcakes…any kind and any color. I’ll be making christmas cupcakes for my sons preschool in 2 weeks, i can’t wait. I made Halloween cupcakes and there were none left!!

This is gonna sound so weird but I haven’t been home for Christmas in 18 years! This year is THE YEAR, and I’m beyond excited! So it’s not a sweet treat but my Mom’s Chicken Fried Steak. She was asking what we wanted for Christmas and I told her NO gifts just her Chicken Fried Steak! It’s going to be a FANTASTIC Christmas, and I leave in 10 days!

I’m making homemade Tamales!! In Yuma, AZ there’s a Tamale Festival every year, and I’m going for the first time to get all kinds of ideas to make them for my family. So excited! Of course, I’m also making cake pops! I made the Turkeys for Thanksgiving and served them at a shelter for the kids – they were a hit! (Of course). I’m making the Christmas tree ones this time. They’ll basically be triple chocolate and peanut butter – with chocolate cake, fudge frosting, chocolate coating and peanut butter M&Ms and Reeses Pieces for ornaments. SOO excited.

I can’t wait to eat Sour Cream Walnut cookes. It’s a recipe from my Grandmother and she only made them at Christmas. Eating these cookies always reminded me of past Christmases and now, of her.
They’re YUMMY!

I can’t wait to munch on a gingerbread! I always feel big and mighty when I munch on them :D ^_^ i’ve always discovered a wicked awesome Red Velvet Swirl Brownies recipe that is perfect for the holiday!

I love the holidays because I get to go home from college and spend time with my family. They love having me home because i bake…a lot. I’m most looking forward to making Cinnamon crumb cake. Its many peoples favorite and it always smells soooo good. Especially when we make it in the morning for breakfast! =D

I am such a sucker for pie. I love all kinds of pie. Pumpkin, cherry, apple, you name it. And it seems a crime to me that I grew up only eating these delicious culinary delights around the holidays. It’s a shame, really. A durn shame. I know we’re randomly selected (which is a fantastic policy), but I thought I’d mention that this contest ends on my birthday! For which we’ll be enjoying pie. Or else. :)
